Following
the Milky Way : A Pilgrimage on the Camino De Santiagoby Elyn Aviva
Following the Milky Way is the story of Elyn Aviva's 500-mile-long
journey on foot on the Camino de Santiago. This 1000-year-old pilgrimage
road stretches from the French Pyrenees across northern Spain to Santiago
de Compostela, supposed tomb of St. James the Apostle. It is a journey
that crosses the landscape of the soul as well as the mountains and mesetas
of Spain. This book is a vivid memoir of a life-changing adventure, chance
encounters, unforeseen dangers, and unexpected pleasures. Spanish history,
wine, food, literature, art, architecture, and legend share equal time
with the stories of pilgrims that Elyn meets along the way. Following the
Milky Way is a fascinating historical document.
